A bluegrass duet song by sibling Floyd and Lloyd Armstrong. A gospel song lamenting the death of the singers' mother waiting for Jesus to wake her. This song has been done by many other bluegrass and gospel artists.

Here is a version by The Monroe Brothers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3p9v8NGp20

Released in 1948.
